Description
Mysterious metal sculpture ashtray of what at first appears to be a 1930’s plane…but it’s not a normal airplane
The wings are curved down. Cannot find an example of an airplane with curved down wings. See image #7 of a 1930’s airplane. This sculpture has many similarities to an airplane of the 1930’s but it has been altered. The horizontal stabilizers at the rear of the aircraft were removed and the wings were bent down (during production).
It is very old, estimated 1930’s. Dark, even metal patina. No maker, foundry or country mark. This tells us it was likely made in the U.S before the end of WWII.
In excellent aged condition. No damage except that which was intentionally inflicted by the maker (removal of the rear stabilizers). Measures 6½” long, 4¼” at widest. Weighs 1 lb.
A truly unique ashtray!
